The Champ Is Here

It’s been more than 12 months since Olympic gold medalist and super-middleweight champion Andre Ward has stepped into the boxing ring. He was nursing a shoulder injury which inadvertently led to a dispute over his title with the World Boxing Council. Nevertheless, Ward’s faith is strong, and he is ready to defend his title against Edwin Rodriguez on Nov. 16. BET.com talked to Ward about his year off, the expectations of his return and his future in boxing. — Dominique Zonyéé
